Ecclesiastes6:6
6 Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told , yet hath he seen no good : do not all go to one place ?
Wherein he seems to have a priviledge above an untimely Birth.
He hath enjoyed little or no comfort in it, and therefore long life is rather a curse and mischief, than a blessing or advantage to him.
Whether Born out of and before their time, or in due time, whether their lives be long or short.
To the Grave. And so after a little time all are alike as to this life, of which he here speaks, and as to the other life his condition is infinitely worse than that of an untimely birth.
